The embossed blue card stock was done with double embossing. Dry embossed with cuttlebug snowflake folder and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The stamp was one I received from a friend of mine.

Love Birds

Hi all, Wow I've been away longer than what I thought! I hope your not suffering from that cold that's been floating around, I had it for a couple of weeks.But I'm glad that it is over and I can get back to what I enjoy. I'm the designer today over at Card A Day Blog and I wanted to show you all what I created in my corner today. If your stopping in from the Card a Day Blog, welcome to my little corner. The theme this week is congratulations

As I said in my previous blog, there are alot of upcoming weddings that I need cards for so here is another but this card could be used for other events as well. It could be used for Valentine's day, congrats on an engagement or an Anniversary, just change the sentiment.

So this card was so easy to do. The base of the card I received from a swap box, in there was a variety pack of card bases in reference to love, but this one was special with all the lettering and definitions all over it. So I kept the rest of the card pretty simple to not draw away from that card base. With the popularity of this type of paper out there with the writing all over it you could do the same similar thing.

 These were a few of the pieces in this project. The love birds were cut from scrap paper at 1.25" it came from the Holiday Cakes cricut cartridge (and yes you can cut paper with the cake cartridges). The flourish came from accent essentials but decided not to use it just couldn't get it to work with the card. The ribbon I think I got last summer at a flea market (it sparkles). The congratulations came from a pre-cut sticker pack and I stuck it on a scrap of the pink paper and punched with SU large scallop oval. The inside sentiment I found online. So that is it, plain and simple and a breeze to put together. The longest part was probably cutting the birds out.

I hope you all enjoy this card and would like to have you join me on Monday for the Spring has Sprung blog hop and maybe so blog candy too. I want to bring some of the things that I have been working on this past month so you'll see more posts next week as I get back to bloggin again. Thanks for joining me today...

You Know Halloween Card

Hi All and welcome. It's Halloween week at the Card a Day Blog and if you have come here for the first time welcome. Now I am today's designer at the Card a Day blog and I did a card based around a stamp I purchased at Micheal's. Halloween is not my best subject when it comes to card making so I struggled for a while to come up with an idea for a card, when I walked by the $1.00 stamp bin at Micheal's. I came upon this stamp that look so cute that I had to get it and it gave me the inspiration for the card today:

When I saw the witch stamp, I thought that she looked a bit dazed and had to get her. I got the spider and web for an extra stamp so I have some Halloween stamps.











So that  stamp inspired this card. Here is the front of the card:

After I left the store I started to do a little play on words for the concept that was in my head. The bat and the moon was cut from the cricut cartridge Holiday Cakes and yes you can cut paper with the cricut cake cartridges. It was cut out at 2 1/2 inches. The "You Know" was cut at 1" from the Street sign cartridge and I inked it lightly with SU basic black and my finger as the dauber to get the float feeling of the letters. I also inked the orange moon. Black diamond stickles was used on the moon for some bling.

So when I saw that dazed witch, I thought Flying isn't as glamorous as one might think and that was how this card was inspired. I didn't have a cartridge that had a flying witch so I chose that bat and the moon to portray the flying part of the card and the stamp looks like she got back form flying, clever huh.
The inside of the card shows the above words as the sentiment for the inside printed on orange paper from Staples and cut with Spellbinders label thirteen die through the cuttlebug. happy halloween is from the Holiday Cakes cartridge to and was cut out using the Fit to length function (this may be a good way to cut those borders so they fit a card with out trying to figure out the size) on my cricut at 4" cause the plan at first was to have the card in portrait style not landscape style, but as you can see that was changed. All paper used other that the paper from staples was from Keepsake Essentials Reversible paper from the local General Dollar and it doesn't cut to bad on the cricut. You may want to consider the Holiday Cakes cartridge for your next card it has lots of images for various holidays, phrases and a font too.
Don't forget to get yo own cards in for the challenge at a Card a Day Blog for a chance for the prize. Check out the bold this weekend for World Card Making day. I will have some blog candy for the event with a Christmas feel to it to win you have to be a follower or leave comment during the 2 day period, details will be coming on Saturday Oct 1.
I hope you enjoyed the card today, I enjoyed making it. Chat later and I hope you all have a great day!

Christmas in June-Happy Holidays Card

Hi All,

I would like to share today a card I made for the June swap on a Yahoo group I belong to. This was anything goes swap, so I decided to do one for Christmas giving (never to early to start, just my thoughts).
I enjoyed doing this card, I worked through a new technique on this Double Embossing it was a fun technique to learn and it didn't turn out to bad.

Happy Holidays card the snowflakes were cut from the Holiday Cakes cartridge. It and the snowflake border was cut from the DCWV Christmas Combo pack. The embossed blue card stock was done with double embossing. Dry embossed with cuttlebug snowflake folder and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The stamp was one I received from a friend of mine.

Update on the craftroom:

It's coming along pretty good, walls are painted and the tile is down, alot of the woodwork is done. I now have a shelf unit on the wall.

Maybe by the weekend or next week I can finally get into the room. The radiator will not be in that location, either iris drawers or craft cart drawes maybe gonig in that spot.  I am so looking forward to that day it's just been way to long. Have a great day all thanks for stopping by.
